Max Klare prepares for competition in Rams' tight end group
Summary

Max Klare joins the Los Angeles Rams after being selected 61st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. The tight end position is highly competitive with incumbents like Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson already in the mix. Klare aims to make an impact after a successful college career, where he recorded 51 receptions for 685 yards and four touchdowns in his final season at Purdue. Klare transferred to Ohio State for his last year, earning first-team all-Big Ten honors despite a dip in production. He now faces a challenging path to significant playing time in a crowded roster as the Rams favor tight end-heavy formations.
